Portuguese Camino Day 6: Redondela to Pontevedra

A view of the Ría de Vigo — the estuary opening into the Atlantic — from the Camino Portugués near Redondela.

Walking from Redondela to Pontevedra

On Day 6, I walked from Redondela to Pontevedra. Andrea, Hanis, and I stayed together for the entire stage, moving inland through forested hills and quiet hamlets while catching glimpses of the Ría de Vigo below. The conversation flowed easily — stories, laughter, and the rhythm of our footsteps blending into the peaceful Galician countryside. That night I stayed at Albergue Aloxa Hostel in Pontevedra.

I’ll write the full story for this stage after completing the GR20 Trail on 11 June. More photos and reflections will follow then.
